Retrieving values from form on other page

Herminio · Aug 28, 2002

This is what i want to do

Imagine that you have a page where you make you registry(not login), when you submit i want you to receive the information about Username and Password just to be shure you don't forget it, i just want to know the way to get the value entered in those fields of the registry page into the congrats page.

Thanks in advance

Hi Herminio,

This goes back to basics.. you simply call the values using the Request.Form or Request methods.. I'll give you a small example below:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Congradulations! You have now signed up.. Below is your username and passsword for confirmation..
<p>
<div align="center"><%=request.form("username&quot

%>
<br>
<%=request.form("password&quot

%>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Thanks Gorken, but that example aplies only if the form is in the same page, and that's not what i want to do i have a register.asp that goes like this:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<%
' *** Edit Operations: declare variables

MM_editAction = CStr(Request("URL&quot

)
If (Request.QueryString <> "&quot

Then
MM_editAction = MM_editAction & "?" & Request.QueryString
End If

' boolean to abort record edit
MM_abortEdit = false

' query string to execute
MM_editQuery = ""
%>
<%
' *** Insert Record: set variables

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert&quot

) <> "&quot

MM_columns = Split(MM_columnsStr, "|&quot

' set the form values
For i = LBound(MM_fields) To UBound(MM_fields) Step 2
MM_fields(i+1) = CStr(Request.Form(MM_fields(i)))
Next

' append the query string to the redirect URL
If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "" And Request.QueryString <> "&quot

Then
If (InStr(1, MM_editRedirectUrl, "?", vbTextCompare) = 0 And Request.QueryString <> "&quot

Then
MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "?" & Request.QueryString
Else
MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "&" & Request.QueryString
End If
End If

End If
%>
<%
' *** Insert Record: construct a sql insert statement and execute it

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert&quot

) <> "&quot

Then

' create the sql insert statement
MM_tableValues = ""
MM_dbValues = ""
For i = LBound(MM_fields) To UBound(MM_fields) Step 2
FormVal = MM_fields(i+1)
MM_typeArray = Split(MM_columns(i+1),",&quot

Delim = MM_typeArray(0)
If (Delim = "none&quot

Then Delim = ""
AltVal = MM_typeArray(1)
If (AltVal = "none&quot

Then AltVal = ""
EmptyVal = MM_typeArray(2)
If (EmptyVal = "none&quot

Then EmptyVal = ""
If (FormVal = "&quot

Then
FormVal = EmptyVal
Else
If (AltVal <> "&quot

Then
FormVal = AltVal
ElseIf (Delim = "'&quot

Then ' escape quotes
FormVal = "'" & Replace(FormVal,"'","''&quot

& "'"
Else
FormVal = Delim + FormVal + Delim
End If
End If
If (i <> LBound(MM_fields)) Then
MM_tableValues = MM_tableValues & ","
MM_dbValues = MM_dbValues & ","
End if
MM_tableValues = MM_tableValues & MM_columns(i)
MM_dbValues = MM_dbValues & FormVal
Next
MM_editQuery = "insert into " & MM_editTable & " (" & MM_tableValues & &quot

values (" & MM_dbValues & &quot

"

If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
' execute the insert
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command&quot

MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_editConnection
MM_editCmd.CommandText = MM_editQuery
MM_editCmd.Execute
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close

If (MM_editRedirectUrl <> "&quot

Then
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)
End If
End If

End If
%>

<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="true">

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">

<table width="18%" border="1">
<tr>
<td width="12%">Username:</td>
<td width="88%"><%=Request.form("user&quot

%></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="12%">Password:</td>
<td width="88%"><%=Request.form("pass&quot

%></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
